Out of curiosity, what are some of the good expansions for Sims 3? I may buy it and a few of them.

[Mech#4]

I looked at the items and furniture they added to determine whether I would get them or not. I own World Adventures and Ambitions, one for the country themed sets and Ambitions for the extra jobs.

One to be aware of is the Supernatural one. It adds zombies which autonomously turn other Sims into zombies. Annoying if you don't want that and you can't turn it off from what I've read.

Thankfully, mods exist if you really wanted the other features of Supernatural (alchemy, magic, multiple alternate lifestates, or the usual additions such as furniture and items).  If I recall properly, I used this one.  Patch warning aside, it appears to still function properly according to user feedback, which jibes with my own experiences.  It is rather irritating, though, that it had to be done via mod - you can deactivate certain other sim types or features (most notably the celebrity system of Showtime, which had the unfortunate tendency to take over neighborhoods), but not zombies in the base game.

bit odissey (star treck 8bitish game) is at 0.99

it seems deep enough but I didn't do more than a short foray.

Seriously though, Ambitions and Seasons are cool since they are all content that you will get to use basically all the time rather than having to go somewhere, like the vacation, future, university and other vacation packs. Generations and Supernatural technically do too, but I haven't played either, and the latter is rather intrusive from what I heard.

Future pack is rather cheaty apparently, and Showtime is a half-assed cash-in for people who missed the memo that Late Night already allows you to gig as a band on top of adding other content.

Oh hey, Reassembly is 50% off.

[ThtblovesDF]

Reassembly was fun, wanted it for a while, but "finished" it quite quickly - there is a graphic improvement mod and a faction mod that allows you to use the parts of all factions and a cap remover, all very nice. Fun game, worth the price currently I'd say.

Sadly, it lacks a little in replay value and could have used a newgame+ or something along those lines. Currently you have the "hard" struggle at the start, then once you got some cash you can straight up escalate rapidly. Ended up with what is basically a gigantic street sweeper made of spikes just ramming over the universe and murdering other player-fleets before they can fire more then a small volley.

Sims 3 has plants that you can grow and Supernatural adds zombies. Can you think of any other now-owned-by-EA game that has those two features?

Without carefully cordoning off your plants, modding/cheating, or going out and finding the peashooter on the Sims 3 store, zombies will eat all of your plants.

Using testingcheatsenabled true, shift click on the mail box.  You get an option to control supernaturals.  Then you get an option to add or remove supernaturals.  Zombies are on the list

I think they actually added zombie control to normal options in some patch.

Your best bet is actually going with NRaas. http://nraas.wikispaces.com/ The mods in that will fix the game in oh so many ways.

My Friday to Sunday day off, I bought some Steam sales.
Creeper 3 was some fun time sink, but then I got stuck in the world where you need energy and shield tech.

I bought about $20 worth of a bunch of less than $5 games also. 

I played a lot of Guild 2: The Renaissance.  I initially keep getting a black screen. I fixed it by editing the config file and set the show intro to false. 
And there's plenty of YT let's play that includes some opening strats for scholar, patron, craftsman, and rogue by "My Dry Bread" something.

Crap, I installed another space game (edit: Cosmonautica), where you start with a ship, buy upgrades, (hire pilot, cleaner, repairer, shooter, cook, science), and do trades or missions within the inner planets.  I still need to research to learn how to travel to mid, and outer rim planets. 

I picked up Space Pirates and Zombies SPAZ 1, Orcs Will Die 2, and a few more.

I'm still on the fence if I should pick up Age of Empire II HD, or bite the pack that includes AOE III+ all the others.

Bought the EA Racing Pack because I've never played Burnout and have fond memories of Underground and Hot Pursuit. Dumb me didn't read the fine print on Shift 2. I'm now pondering returning the entire thing (if packs can be returned) and just purchasing Burnout (1.3 hours in so no problem there).

Yeah, yeah, EA rabble rabble. Save it.


In any case, Burnout has been pretty amazing so far. I haven't played a racing game in ages and the damage model was unexpected. If it interests you and you live under a rock like I must be doing, might as well check it out.

I've always considered Burnout games less racing games, and more crash simulator games. The racing is enjoyable enough, it's just not super technical.

Decided to go with Pets, Ambitions, and Cats.

So now I can have literal Catwoman if I really wanted.
